in Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) #1

I found this online it made me cry Laughing. My girl friend did not find it funny. 

"When all my hair fell out, I woke up to my husband staring at my head with a frightened expression on his face. “I think you better look in the mirror,” he said. I leapt out of bed, ran to the dressing table mirror and burst out laughing when I saw the big 666 he had painted on my head!"

    LOL

    Okay, I've told this story before but it's still funny.  

    I have a fairly hairy chest and prided myself in having pretty decent, defined pecs though I've never been a gym rat.  About half way through my chemo, I lost most of my hair (everywhere) and was very shocked to look in the mirror and realize I had "man boobs".  Well, the hair has grown back and the "disguise" is back in force.  So, now it's our little secret Wink.

    Laughter is good - Hugs.

    Thanks for asking

    I'm doing good. My white blood counts got down to 1.2 so they put off chemo number 3 for a week. I have a total of 8 treatments every two week so I'm almost to half way with a pet scan coming up after my next chemo.

    You Learn

    I learned a lot about being bald when it all fell out during my chemo. It gets dry up there! I had to use moisturizer. And I had to be careful not to get sunburnt. Then when it got cooler, my head felt a lot colder. I didn't realize how much my hair "insulated" my head from the cold. With me the only two good things hair wise were 1)they make nice wigs and 2) being a gal I didn't have to shave the pits. Embarassed

    Hair

    My hair is starting to grow back in. I was looking in the mirror today and wishing it would grow back as fast as it fell out. Laughing

    Hair today gone tomorrow

    My granddaughter used to sneak up behind me and pull a few hairs from my head and say "I just need some DNA" and then laugh. I got even with her. About 2 weeks after my first chemo I would grab a big clump of hair from my head and pull it out and hand it to her and say "DNA?".  I didn't know her eyes could get that big.
